'The Interview' to Hit U.K. Theaters in February

The controversial Sony comedy will receive a wide release

Sony's controversial comedy The Interview will get a wide release in the U.K., just months after the film received a limited release in the U.S. after many theater chains refused to show the film following a threat of terror attacks.

Sony reported on Tuesday that the film, which has also been available for rent and purchase on several digital outlets, has taken in $31 million in online sales since the movie was made available on such platforms on Dec. 24.
